WILFRID SELLARS ESSAY PRIZE

The North American Kant
Society is pleased to announce the third annual Wilfrid Sellars Essay Prize competition.Open to recent PhDs and junior (non-tenured) faculty who are
40 years of age or younger and members of NAKS in good standing, this prize
will be awarded for the best essay on any topic that demonstrates the continued
relevance of Kant’s philosophy. Essays must be previously unpublished (work
under consideration or forthcoming will be considered), and cannot exceed 8,000 words in length (including notes).

The Sellars Essay Prize is the natural continuation of the existing Marcus Herz Prize, which is awarded to
the best graduate student submission to the NAKS study groups. Our intention is
to help promote original Kantian or Kant-inspired philosophical work of
scholars in the early stages of their careers. Submissions will be
blind-reviewed and judged by members of a review committee drawn from the NAKS
Executive and Advisory Boards. The deadline for submitting is January 15, 2014.

Please send entries
electronically to: Robert B. Louden (Louden@Maine.edu) and Pablo Muchnik
(pablo_muchnik@emerson.edu). Entries should be submitted in Word format and state
the word count at the end. Submissions must be accompanied by a cover letter
containing a three-part declaration stating that: (i) the essay has not been
published by January 15, 2014, (ii) the
author already has a PhD in hand, is 40 years of age or younger, and an
untenured scholar, and
(iii) the author is a member of NAKS in good standing. The winner will be
announced on June 15 and will receive a prize of $500.The Award Committee reserves the right
not to award a prize, if in its judgment none is warranted.
